most popular books being written today are science fictions (小说). hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people. furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.it is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its forefathers can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. these books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a main subject which is still often found in modern stories.most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last one hundred years. books by writers, such as jules verne and h.g. wells, to mention just two wellknown authors, have been translated into many languages.in an age where science fact frequently overtakes (超过) science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. those who are clear-sighted to see how the ways are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will unpreventably face as it tries to master its new technology and come to terms with a continually changing view of the world.41. it can be concluded that modern science fiction _高考资源网 a. is worse than that in the past b. shows the writers viewpointsc. tells stories about men from other planetsd. has been written only by jules verne and h.g. wells42. from the article we get the impression that science fiction _.a. is popularb. is a fairly new development in literaturec. reflects the technical advances in the pastd. describes things that happen in developed countries43. which of the following statements is true?高考资源网 a. science fiction is based on successful films.b. science fiction often overtakes science fact.c. writers may find it easy to keep ahead of scientific advances.d. the writer who can see clearly the way we are going will give us valuable instructions.b millions of people are using cell phones today. in many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. in many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. they find that the phones are more than a means of communicationhaving a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.the explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professional worried. some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. in england, there has been a serious debate about this issue. mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. they say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.on the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning (扫描) equipment. in one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. he couldnt remember even simple tasks. he would often forget the name of his own son. this man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. his family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employers doctor didnt agree.what is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? the answer is radiation. high-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.as the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that its best to use mobile phones less often. use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. use your mobile phone only when you really need it. mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. in the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. so for now, its wise not to use your mobile phone too often44. people buy cell phones for the following reasons except that_.a. theyre popular b. theyre cheapc. theyre useful d. theyre convenient45. the world “detected” in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by_.a. cured b. removed c. discovered d. caused46. the salesman retired young because_.a. he disliked using mobile phones b. he was tired of talking on his mobile phonec. he couldnt remember simple tasks d. his employers doctor persuaded him to47. the writers purpose of writing this article is to advise peoplea. to buy mobile phones b. to update regular phonesc. to use mobile phones less often d. to stop using mobile phones c. david beckham had a dream: to be the first english player to appear in four world cupsbut now it appears that dream is over after a serious injury to his achilles tendon （跟腱） which means he could be out of action for around six monthswith this years world cup in south africa only three months away, sadly beckham looks set to miss outthe injury happened while beckham was playing for ac milan against ac chievo in the italian leagueafter attempting to kick the ball he fell to the ground and hobbled off the pitch before being stretchered （被担架抬走）awayit is not yet known whether he has completely severed （切断）his achilles tendon or only torn itthe player has now flown to finland for assessment and treatment by a knee specialistengland manager fabio capello fears the worst for beckhams world cup chanceswe have to wait for the results of the scan but it looks like he is out of the world cup, he said in a statementi spoke with him after the game on sunday night to offer my supportdavid is a great professional and has worked very hard to be ready for the world cup, so missing it will be a big blowbeckhams former manager at american club la galaxy, alexei lalas, echoed （共鸣 ）capellos words of support: it is a horrible situation for beckhami know how much it meant to him to be in the world cup and how important he was to the england teamdavid beckham is now 34 and some are asking whether this serious injury could mean his whole career is overwhatever happens, as one of footballs best-known and popular players, beckham will have no shortage of encouragement from fans around the worldsome will remember beckhams miraculous recovery from an achilles injury in 2006, when he was back on the pitch after only eight weeksif he could repeat the same feat in time for the world cup it really would be the stuff of fairytalesso, perhaps all is not lostoptimists will take heart from alexei lalas words: you never want to write off （排除） david beckham as he has shown us his ability to bounce back （恢复原状） 48what is the best title of the passage ? abeckham had a dream ?bbeckham- a great football player ! cthe end for beckham ?dworld cup in south africa !49what does the author mean by saying “missing it will be a big blow”? amissing the world cup will be a big success bmissing beckham means a great failure cmissing beckham means an important opportunity for the american club la galaxy dmissing the world cup means a big disappointment for beckham 50we may infer from the passage that _ abeckham will definitely not be able to play football again bbeckham was cured by a great knee specialist he found cbeckham has his ability to bounce back dbeckham is likely to miss the world cup51what does the underlined words “take heart” probably mean ? aget disappointed bget help cget encouraged dget hurtd. as kids, my friends and i spent a lot of time out in the woods. “the woods” was our part-time address, destination, purpose, and excuse. if i went to a friends house and found him not at home, his mother might say, “oh, hes out in the woods,” with a tone of airy acceptance. its similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone im looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even “away from his desk.” for us ten-year-olds, “being out in the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while.we sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring . exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today. history seemed to be mostly about explorers. our explorations, though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way. say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an italian burial mound.often we got “lost” and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. if you read a story in which someone does that successfully, be skeptical: the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. there were four or five trees that we visited regularly tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.it was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. by then some of us has reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence (青春期). in march, the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and i set out to go exploring. we climbed a tree, and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that we really were rather big to be up in a tree. soon there would be the spring dances on friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.52. the author and his fiends were often out in the woods to _.a. spend their free timeb. play golf and other sportsc. keep away from their parentsd. escape from doing their schoolwork53. what can we infer from paragraph 1 ?a. the activities in the woods were well planned.b. human history is not the result of exploration.c. the author explored in the woods aimlessly.d. exploration should be a systematic activity.54. the underlined word “skeptical” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _.a. calmb. doubtfulc. seriousd. optimistic55. from the last paragraph, we can learn that _. a. they usually didnt go to the woods in winterb. the author and his friends are of the same agec. all high school students would go dancing on friday eveningsd. they stopped going to the woods because they were adults now56. how does the author feel about his childhood?a. happy but short.b. lonely but memorable.c. boring and meaningless.d. long and unforgettable.eyouve probably heard of the butterfly effect that small changes in one place can lead to great damage elsewhere. the toy story ii, made-in-china, appearing on the internet, tv screens and front pages of newspapers worldwide since august, was a live show. chinas fame as “the worlds factory” was badly damaged this summer by a small, but powerful magnet (磁铁), and colorful paints on toys.mattel, the worlds largest toy company in the us, on august 14 announced the biggest recall (召回) of toys in its history. among the recalled products were 17.4 million toys that had a design problem. they
